gpg-ringmgr - easily move gpg keys from one keyring to another
gpg-ringmgr [options] -t <GPG Keyring> -k <GPG Key ID> [<Key ID> ...]
Print some basic help.
Be more helpful, with usage examples.
Which ring to move the key from. Your keyrings should be in the form of pubring.x.gpg, where x is defined by this option. Defaults to misc.
Same as --from-ring, except it defines where the key is moved to. The default value is undefined, which means that you must specify this argument!
Causes script to also manipulate your secret keys, as well as public keys. Without this option, the script only touches public keys.
A comma separated list of key IDs that you want to move from one ring to another. This option can be specified more than once.
This option defines the options that are passed to GPG in order to make it ignore the contents of it's options file. You probably shouldn't change this unless you know what you're doing.
uses the Data::Dumper module to display some debugging info. You probably shouldn't use this option.
This will move that key from the keyring at ~/.gnupg/pubring.misc.gpg to the keyring at ~/.gnupg/pubring.business.gpg.
Since --from-ring misc is default behavior, this is exactly the same as the previous example.
This moves those three keys from the keyring at ~/.gnupg/pubring.work.gpg to the keyring at ~/.gnupg/pubring.play.gpg.
Demonstrating that the --key-id argument itself is optional, even though the key ids themselves aren't.
Moves the public key with that ID from ~/.gnupg/pubring.personal.gpg to ~/.gnupg/pubring.impersonal.gpg, and the secret key with that ID from ~/.gnupg/secring.personal.gpg to ~/.gnupg/secring.impersonal.gpg.
If you specify a keyring with --to-ring that doesn't exist, it will be created for you automatically.
